SK Telecom announced on the 10th that CEO Jung Jae-heon attended the GSMA M360 ASEAN event held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on the 9th (local time), where he discussed AI transformation strategies and measures to ensure digital trust with global telecommunications executives. The company aims to explore new growth opportunities for telecom operators in the AI era while also working to build a trustworthy communication environment that addresses security and responds to digital crime.
GSMA M360 is an event held by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) on a regional basis. This year's ASEAN event brought together telecommunications companies, technology firms, and government officials from East Asia and the ASEAN region to address key issues including AI transformation, AI sovereignty, cybersecurity, and network reliability.
CEO Jung met with Vivek Badrinath, GSMA Secretary General, to discuss new growth opportunities for the telecommunications industry driven by AI expansion and the direction of AI transformation in network infrastructure.
SK Telecom's proposed AI full-stack strategy was also a major topic of discussion. The company plans to expand its business scope from AI infrastructure to models and services, aiming to establish itself as an Asia-wide AI infrastructure hub. Both sides explored areas for cooperation during this process.
In addition to expanding AI businesses, the parties discussed measures to ensure digital trust. They exchanged views on strengthening information security systems, responding to digital crime, and enhancing network reliability by leveraging AI to upgrade telecommunications infrastructure.
SK Telecom also expanded its engagement with local Malaysian companies. CEO Jung met with Shaide Daniyal Al-Bukhari, Director of TradeWinds, the investment arm of the Al-Bukhari Group in Malaysia, to discuss potential business opportunities for joint ventures between the two companies.
The Al-Bukhari Group operates diverse infrastructure businesses in Malaysia, including ports, automotive, energy, finance, and media. SK Telecom plans to identify concrete cooperation possibilities with TradeWinds through this meeting.
On the same day, CEO Jung also participated in a roundtable attended by top executives from major Asian telecommunications and technology companies, including those from Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore.
CEO Jung Jae-heon stated, "In the AI era, the ability to earn trust from customers and society is as crucial as technological innovation speed for determining corporate competitiveness." He added, "We will concretize cooperation with global telecommunications companies in the field of digital trust and work to build a sustainable AI ecosystem."
